Kallie,
Today I am shift and I thought I was going to miss yet another event. Late in the day Shane Turner came in to work for me so I could surprise you at your school performance. Your shy smile when I walked in lit up my world.
I am so proud of you for the way you sang and danced. You even came up to the front to do a special dance with a few other kids.
Performing for an audience is not your thing right now. This may change, but you are very uncomfortable during these performances. I can see the stress on your face before and during, and I see the relief when it's over. When you were in kindergarten you refused to go on the stage and cried in the back corner for the entire performance. It hurt me to know how uncomfortable you were but now I love to watch you work through. I am very proud of you for fighting your fears and pushing through.
